The reason I decided to pursue a career in the helping profession is rooted in my unwavering belief in the profound impact of compassionate care. Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of witnessing how evidence-based mental health care can truly transform the lives of individuals and their families.
My choice to embark on this path is fueled by my passion for empowering individuals to lead more fulfilling lives, especially when facing the daunting challenges of Anxiety, Depression, and OCD, which inspired the name of my group practice: "ADO Psychology Center".

Moses Appel, PhD's approach
At ADO Psychology Center, our approach is deeply rooted in compassion and evidence-based methods that foster personal growth and recovery. We draw from a evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). By incorporating these evidence-based practices, we offer a comprehensive and effective approach to supporting individuals in their journey toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
I firmly believe that every individual is unique, with their own distinct needs and life experiences. That's why we prioritize creating individualized treatment plans tailored to address each client's specific needs. Establishing a safe and supportive environment is at the heart of our practice. We understand that meaningful progress can only occur when individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Our goal is to cultivate this sense of safety and trust, empowering our clients to develop practical strategies for effectively addressing the challenges they face.

Our goal is to equip you with the skills needed to address your specific therapeutic goals effectively.
Moses Appel, PhD's experience working with the Jewish community
At ADO Psychology Center, our dedication to serving the Jewish community is a top priority, and we hold a profound respect for Jewish values and Halacha (Jewish law).
Our team is well-versed and highly knowledgeable when it comes to addressing mental health challenges within the cultural context of the Jewish community. We understand the nuances and unique aspects of mental health within this context, which allows us to provide services that are not only effective but also culturally sensitive.
In particular, we specialize in treating various subtypes of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including religious OCD and relationship OCD. When working with individuals who hold Halacha in high regard, we prioritize the utmost respect for both the individual and their religious beliefs throughout the course of treatment. This approach ensures that individuals receive the support they need while honoring their faith and values.
